| Brandon Culbert Goldsboro, NC | I am the DCC of Aircraft 87-0195 I love my airplane and I took over from SrA Massi when he left to go to england. I love my airplane it may be a pig but it is my Pig. E models are the power house of the AF inventory and we all know it. 01/24/2005 @ 17:06 [ref: 9239] |
| Wood, M Eglin AFB, FL | I am a SSgt,DCC on 86-0185, a D-model converted to an E-model, and I have worked A-E models for over 5 years. The oldest B-model in the inventory is 73-0114 which is now at Edwards AFB. Design for the F-15 would have had to of started alot earlier than 1972 for any of you that disagree with the info given on this site. (B-2 designs started more than 50 years ago) 11/27/2004 @ 18:56 [ref: 8726] |
| Mark St. Louis, MO | The F-15 Design was began in 1968, as can be determined by the 68AXXXXXXXX-XXXX in its part number designation(s). 05/04/2004 @ 17:28 [ref: 7366] |
| Liu Jian , AB | to Ross Chappell
The F-15 is vastly superior (not to mention more versatile0 than the F-4 in everyway. The standard F-15 can easily replace the F-4, it just wasnt employed in the way the F-4 was 04/08/2004 @ 03:44 [ref: 7168] |
